Customer Ratings & Reviews

I use this headset to game on my xbox series x and is perfect i like how amazing it is. The sound quality is very crips and clean i wasnt expecting it to be this good and the mic on this headset is the clearest one i have had yet in my many years of gaming for being only $109 its a very good choice in quality for sound and mic as well for comfort it feels very light on your head and the ear covering are very soft/breathable and the headset it self is very adjustable for different head shapes/sizes also the battery last me very long before needing to charge it and doesnt die fast at all. Also a good way to listen to music/youtube due to the audio quality

Great sound. Basically noise canceling. The pairing for the dongle or bluetooth works great.

Great quality, good mic quality, was able to set the EQ on the app, overall great for video games and even listening to music.

Was in need of new headset so I bought these. At first I was skeptical because I didn't know if I was going to like them. But I'm glad I did, the sound is good, I have no complaints so far. They are worth it to me. So I would recommend them to family members!

As other reviewers have mentioned it's also my first time trying out this brand headset. I was pleasantly surprised right off the bat at how good they sounded, lightweight and ever so comfortable to wear for long periods. Included is a removable plug-in style microphone, a USB-C dongle that plugs into whatever you're using and it has a nice USB-A adapter just in case your PC or game console doesn't have a USB-C input. It also had a small USB-C to USB-C charging cable. Everything came nicely packed with an instruction sheet as well. I downloaded the Arctis Companion App and there are tons of game presets to choose from which I found really makes a difference in the sound quality of a game. I tried out Indiana Jones & The Great Circle and Gran Turismo 7. WOW! The noises I never seemed to hear before just using external speakers blew me away! I then listened to music of various genres and everything sounded truly outstanding. The EQ on the app helps spice up those sounds you need to hear. I usually have a difficult time finding a headset that is comfortable for me to wear ~ either too big or too tight. I have to say these, which are adjustable, fit my head perfectly right out of the box. They definitely block outside noises too. The controls are so easy to manipulate and you can use 2.4GHz or Bluetooth for a connection. I am enjoying wearing this SteelSeries headset and can definitely recommend them. Priced right with superb quality! You can't go wrong with this purchase!

I am a consistent and avid gamer and I have owned and tested numerous headsets over the years. Initial setup and connecting seemed more difficult than it should have been and subsequent attempts to connect have been inconsistent. There certainly are good things to say about this headset but there are also things on the opposite end of the spectrum to say. Let's start with the positive. The packaging is amazing! The box that it comes in is ultra slim profile and when I got it my first question was what the quality of the headset would be given the packaging however SteelSeries managed to ultra-efficiently package all the required components into this slimlined presentation. I must admit that the build of the headset felt light to me and I questioned its durability not having any visible metal components. It does feel comfortable on the head and it has an adjustable and flexible headband. It only has one volume adjustment wheel on the headset and controlling gameplay vs chat volumes need to be done through the downloadable app. The sound quality is good and it has a detachable mic. It advertises over 200 sound settings but I'm Xbox is much less. Regardless, the available settings through the app are labeled by what game is played. The option to customize your own equalization exists but cannot be done through the app itself. My guess is it needs to be connected to a computer for that luxury. Regardless, for me, when it works it works fine but I've had multiple times where it didn't 'just work's by turning it on and getting into gameplay. I want to score it higher than I did and will do so if I find out the difficulties I've experienced were due to my user error. Caveat Emptor.

First time trying SteelSerise and for the price, they're fantastic so far. Coming from Turtle Beach gen 1 stealth 600, these are super comfortable, they built well, light weight and the frame itself is nice and quiet compared to the TB 600s. Battery life has been impressive and the app control with audio profiles are user friendly. Would definitely recommend for the value. Only thing I'd complain about is the foam over the mic. If you touch it to adjust, it's quite loud and crunchy sounding. Beyond that, solid.

I play on PC so my experience is using these mostly on a windows PC. With that said one of the cool features is that you can connect them to a phone with Bluetooth and they have an app there too. So you can use these beyond just one device. The setup is somewhat simple, plug in the dongle and then the headphones on. Make sure your in the right mode on the headphones and also double check dongle is in PC mode (mine wasn’t, so it didn’t work at first). I also got the Steel GG app on the computer running. There is where thing are a little weird. When you go to change the sound to pick the headphone, there is a different option based on what type of mode you want to use. So you need to select the output on windows to be gaming or chat or whatever and change it if you want to use another mode. I’d rather have just one and let the app select it for me. They also have sound setup by game, which is awesome. And I must say it makes the games sound awesome. But you need to manually select it, why can’t it just automatically know essentially since the capture feature does know when you get a certain accomplishment. Having to open and change it is a pain. The app is also kind of odd in its layout. And it’s hard to know what does what. Not the most intuitive to use and only reason I go in is cause I need to change the game sound to use. Overall, great headset and hopefully with software updated the windows app gets better.

Great wireless headset for the price. It’s lightweight and comfortable for long gaming sessions, with solid sound quality and clear mic performance. Battery life is excellent and the fast charging is a big plus. I also like that it works easily across Xbox, PlayStation, PC, Switch, and mobile without hassle. Build quality isn’t premium, but overall it’s a great value and performs exactly as expected.

I bought these headphones to replace my Astro A50 gaming headphones which were much more expensive. And I was shocked how much better these are. Longer battery life, better sound quality, more comfortable for long wear and best of all is the price. Truly amazing experience.

Very nice headphone; great sound quality and comfy. I use them for my Series X and PC, and they work great! The worst part is just moving the dongle between both machines. Sometimes the Xbox feature acts funky and I have to reset my Xbox, so that might be a Xbox issue, not headphones. The only other quirk is if you connect them to your phone. I will be using my PC and my phone will ring and the call goes to the headphones, even though I’m “connected” to my PC. After the call, the audio will be funky and I sometimes have to restart the headphones. Overall, they are great headphones and serve their purpose well. “Cheap and reliable!”

Not every Headset is perfect don't get me wrong this Headset is very good in audio quality and has a comfortable fit on your head but the reason I'm giving this a 4 stars is that every time you turn on the Xbox and turn on the Headset it doesn't detect the Headset the only temporary fix is to unplug the dongle from the Xbox and plug it back in again everything else is fine but that the only issue.

I love this headset! My only complaint is that the mic seems really sensitive and cant be adjusted on the mobile app. But the battery life, sound quality, comfort, and pretty much everytbing else are all amazing

SteelSeries has had a really good track record in the past few years. With their mechanical keyboards, gaming earbuds and headphones. They've all been news-worthy in my book. But there's something about these Nova Arctis 3X wireless gaming headphones that just doesn't completely sit well with me and my general outlook of what SteelSeries is truly capable of I understand that Xbox has been given the short end of the stick when it comes to wireless gaming headphones, due in part not fully embracing Bluetooth. That still has me a little perplexed. but that shouldn't and hasn't stood in the way of SteelSeries making top-notch gear for the platform. Just a disclaimer. Any pair of gaming headphone that are designed with XBOX in mind, should, and quite possibly will work for any gaming console or PC that you may own. They just need to add a dongle for Microsoft's gaming system. So if you like this design and your console specific pair isn't available, by all means, feel free to scoop these up and game on. Inside the box, you'll get your headphones, boom mic, charger, and dongle. All you'll need to get game night in full swing. The USB cord will be needed to connect a PC for periodic updates (I have to say, that I do like that.). And also, for charging the Bluetooth aspect of the headphones. Also, great. My problem is comfort. The ear cups on the earpieces makes my ears sweat up a storm, and I'm not a fan of sweating while on a livestream for the world to see. They also feel a bit small for my liking. So, it felt like there should've been a designated child/adult option. They sound really nice, both when speaking and listening. They also feel and look cheap. The lower price does compensate for that, but I've come to expect more from the brand. Honestly, if you're okay with this build quality, go ahead a go cheaper. But, for the sound quality to price ratio, this is definite win. In the end, this isn't their best work, but it's also far from their worst. So there's your trade-off. These would make for great spare headphones, but main drivers, they aren't.

It's an ok headset for wireless. The Mic is solid and the sound quality is decent if tweaked through the Sonar app. I personally dealt with issues such as popping sounds randomly possibly due to interference. Very nice build being flexible as well. Pretty solid comfort.

Comfortable, EQ customization (separate app), surprisingly good for music with the right EQ. The small caveat you should be aware of; if you play various competitive games you need to change EQ every time or find one that works for multiple games. For example; I was constantly switching between ARC raiders and Apex Legends custom EQ’s but it seems the CS2 EQ can deliver for both those games.

First thing i can say is dual channel should be implemented in every headset having the ability to switch from hearing my pc to my phone is amazing and i never knew how much i needed that. sound quality is good not eargazam level but songs play really nice, especially instruments and games sound immersive. the mic that comes with it is amazing very clear and works for my calls on my phone as well so i can call my girlfriend with my phone far away when i want to lay down and the wireless bluetooth and 2.4 have a long connection range. as for anything bad.. its tough i would not call myself picky but if i could change my mindset to being picky i would say that if you have long hair it does slip a lot from the top and the ear coverings are a bit big maybe adding variable covers would be nice like how they have for in-ear headphones other than that i would say these headphones are an amazing choice much better than the ones i used to have. price is not too bad i was a little worried about the price being too much for too little but i think its worth every dollar and would buy another for the wife so she can game comfortably as well. overall amazing dual channel blue my mind sound quality was good for the sound and the mic.

Great headphones. Comfortable with great sound and battery life.

Great audio, clean mic, super comfy. Works across Xbox, PS5, and PC without issues. I just wish I could make custom profiles in the app. Still one of the best headsets I’ve used in this range.

These are perfect. They are very comfortable, the sound quality is great, the Bluetooth software and microphone is excellent. And the wireless connectivity is great. This headset is everything I was looking for in a headset.
